This is just like most of the messages which are being sent out by African crooks. They are not always logical.

You can see that they use various kinds of messages by reading a part of one sentence

contract fund, inheritance or Lottery Wining

Obviously they are trying to catch people who may have been victims before.

The story is somewhat confused as this message talks about contractors and next of kin. Could it be I am the next of kin to a contractor?

A lot of the Africans write their messages in capitals. They don’t seem to haver heard that on the Internet it’s like shouting at someone.

I can imagine it has to do with the colonial bureaucratic way of thinking, which these fellows seem to follow.

Oh and by the way, Abel is complaining about my lack of cooperation.
